2019/02/08

We're kicking off the Colorwork KCAL! Mostly by talking about what we're planning on making: sheep mittens for Vivian and a cowl for Alyson. But of course, Vivian's WIPs involve colorwork anyway.

It's a big WIP day for Alyson because she's loading up projects to take on holiday. Not to mention, there's a glorious FO for Alyson too.

2019/01/06

New year, new episode! But before we get on with all the new projects to come in 2019, we're reflecting back on all that we accomplished in 2018. Neither of us are professional crafters, but we've finished an impressive number of projects, if we do say so ourselves. And if we didn't prove it before, Vivian is indeed the Queen of Hats, as shown by the eleven hats she's made this past year!

You can probably guess what the cult is. We are all part of the cult. The cult is life. It's knitting and crocheting!

Episode 34: An Obscene Knit Fail

Keep Calm and Carry Yarn: A Knitting and Crochet Podcast ·

2018/10/08

You win some and you lose some. In Vivian's case, you mostly lose some! There's the obscene knit fail (you'll just have to listen to find out more) and a sort of lose-win not-really-macrame macrame plant hangers. One thing that's definitely an absolute win? Alyson is working on her crochet sock for the massive #sockcal2018 Oh, and you know us, there's plenty of chit chat about other non-crafty things, mostly TV shows to be honest.

We're just regular crazy Asians, but we cannot stop talking about Crazy Rich Asians the movie... Alyson even has a Crazy Rich Asians themed WIP! Vivian has gone a bit more traditional with updates on her color work Engi sweater (spoiler: it has been a troublesome project). Plus Vivian has started a new hat project using some of her "Meet the Shepherd/ess" yarns from EYF.

Most productive crafter goes to Vivian this time around. Her Sock Arms sweater is finally off the needles, plus she’s already started her next fingering weight sweater! Alyson has more excuses than projects, but one of her FOs is in celebration of her first pattern on Ravelry being available to download as a PDF. Swish!

Together again! Together again! We took a short break in our adventures, galavanting around Scotland to record a special video episode... because we're together again! All this vacationing means Vivian has had loads of time to knit knit knit, but her Sock Arms sweater is still on the needles! Alyson, meanwhile has lots of new WIPs to talk about- a shawl, a market bag, and a cushion. Plus we have lots of chat about what we've been getting up to.

We'll call this one a "curated" episode. It's short, but sweet, and full of accomplishments. Alyson has successfully tried her hand at intarsia crochet, with the not so insubstantial help from Fay's new Stiallach Bag Collection pattern. And both Vivian and Alyson have exciting FOs! Alyson's has been long in the works, while Vivian's is one you may have forgotten about.

If we know anything, it is that Vivian will make multiple versions of patterns she likes. Also our cats love a cameo. Vivian has finished her second pair of Fiddlehead Mittens (featuring a Sushi cat cameo). And she's working on her Wool and the Gang socks which are cool, but not going quite to plan. Also not going quite to plan, Alyson's Pleated Cardigan... oh dear.

Slow but steady wins the race (maybe). Both Vivian and Alyson are taking that philosophy to heart, each with small projects underway for the KALCAL: hot water bottle cover for Alyson and dish towel for Vivian. In other news, Alyson is grumbling about both her tank top and her sweater, but don’t worry she still loves her makes.

Episode 25: Camping in a Garbage Dump

Keep Calm and Carry Yarn: A Knitting and Crochet Podcast ·

2018/05/08

We haven't gotten quite as much knitting and crocheting as we would have liked. Vivian has been hanging about at home with 2 of 4 daughters and Alyson's has been ignoring everything except her current read, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay by Elena Ferrante. But we're revisiting lots of projects you might already be familiar with. Alyson's blanket and Blurre shawl, and Vivian's Bubbly sweater and Korra hat. Thanks for tuning in!

Episode 24: Wing, Wang, Wung

Keep Calm and Carry Yarn: A Knitting and Crochet Podcast ·

2018/04/22

Things to giggle about in this episode: Minions, husbands in craft stores, and sperm. As @lisa_raspberrycrochet pointed out, a common project theme this week is short rows. Vivian is having fun with short rows and Alyson is despairing over short rows. Expect many more short row hats in Vivian’s future because she bought Woolly Wormhead’s Elemental ebook.
